Government Has Achievements, Says Digital Minister
Digital Economy and Society Minister Chaiyachon Chidchob dismissed calls for a strict cabinet reshuffle timeline, stating ministers are continuously evaluated and any changes should be based solely on performance.
Digital Economy and Society Minister Chaiyachon Chidchob, speaking as secretary-general of the Bhumjaithai Party, addressed the proposed cabinet reshuffle on August 19, saying the government should not be bound by a strict one-year timeline for personnel changes. He argued that all ministers are already under evaluation and accountable to the public, and that anyone failing to perform should be replaced on merit, not schedule.
Chaidchob emphasized that all ministers are working at full capacity and are being assessed continuously. He said any reshuffle decision rests with Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul. When asked if cabinet criteria should focus on performance, he confirmed that work results must be the only consideration.
Asked about tensions between political parties affecting government stability, Chaidchob said the government remains very stable and dismissed political rumors as routine, especially near confidence votes. He characterized recent attacks over old legal cases—including the Hua and Khao Kradong cases—as attempts to discredit the government at a time when it is performing well. "It reflects that the government has notable achievements, which is precisely why opponents are resurrecting old cases to undermine it now," he said.
